Please Note: Not All Individual Milk Bottle Caps Were Scanned In. As There Are Mulitples Of Most Of The Same Individual Caps Available (#'s 1 - 400), Then Only One Cap Was Scanned And That Picture Was Used For The Others Of The Same Type. Multiples of numbers 1 through 400 are usually available. Numbers 401 and up usually have only one available. Please Contact
Me before ordering more than one of an item with the same code number.

Bottle caps are a type of closure used to seal the openings of bottles of many types. They can be small circular pieces of metal, usually steel, with plastic backings, and for plastic bottles a plastic cap is used instead. A bottle cap is typically colorfully decorated with the logo of the brand of beverage. Caps can also be plastic, sometimes with a pour spout. Flip-Top caps like Flapper closures provide controlled dispensing of dry products. Bottle caps for plastic bottles are often made of a different type of plastic than the bottle.

Bottle caps were originally designed to be pressed over and around the top of a glass bottle to grab a small flange on the bottleneck.

The first milk-bottle-capping machine was designed, built, and overall invented by a Polish man named Menachem Wallach.

Milk bottle top

A milk bottle top is a lid to a milk bottle. They are usually colour-coded to show the consumer the different varieties of milk, especially the flavour or fat content. This colour-coding tends to vary between, but is usually consistent within, countries.
